<p>If not, is there another product that&rsquo;s similar in scope?</p>Customer #371260 on RTL-09875 - RFID Starter Kit - RetailCustomer #371260urn:uuid:6bda79ec-495a-11b5-d642-a9205e13301e2012-10-19T03:51:42-06:00<p>Truly excellent piece of kit. No duino required and Very easy too connect to. A small tip for those strugling with HyperTerm tools osx/pc, you can also use the default Arduino SerialMonitor to monitor other COM ports too. Just switch the COM tool=>serial port, and open the serial monitor.</p>
<p>For thos who want to connect with Arduino to the Serial port on the board instead of USB FTDI.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s my code:

I spent a couple hours trying to avoid duplicating (ok, centicating) successive reads. This device has that built in, so I no longer have to fudge around in my code to only check once. Great job!</p>
<p>The built-in beep is also a nice addition. Were it not useful to have two readers, I&rsquo;d likely return the Parallax one.</p>heavysixer on RTL-09875 - RFID Starter Kit - Retailheavysixerurn:uuid:ce4d6698-063b-233c-34c9-dd6f65c1e4ad2012-04-23T09:58:24-06:00<p>I wrote a short blog post on how to get this working with the Mac and Ruby: http://markdaggett.com/blog/2012/04/23/reading-rfid-cards-with-ruby/</p>Customer #129248 on RTL-09875 - RFID Starter Kit - RetailCustomer #129248urn:uuid:9eba571c-6608-1a1b-795e-a7bcfaebe9432012-04-03T16:20:47-06:00<p>Hello,
I bought this kit and it&rsquo;s working fine.</p>
<p>But a have a need to know when the card get away from the reader. How can I do that? I imagined try to read the card each 1 second, but I don&rsquo;t know what command to send to the reader to do that.</p>
<p>Some one knows how can I do?</p>
<p>Best regards.

<p>These tags are set at the factory and cannot be edited later on. The readers are not capable of writing to tags anyways, but there are read/write modules that operate in the 125 kHz range, given the proper tags.</p>ITHelp on RTL-09875 - RFID Starter Kit - RetailITHelpurn:uuid:91a57602-fefa-cd7f-cae5-5c8ffb8793832011-12-09T12:51:24-07:00<p>Make sure you&rsquo;ve set your connection up properly. This module outputs at 9600 baud, not 115200.</p>
<p>Beyond that it&rsquo;s 8N1N (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.)</p>

The output is the raw data from the tag, so you can convert that to binary and work back up if you need to get different values from various ranges in the card&rsquo;s output.</p>
<p>(It comes from the reader in hexadecimal format, so it&rsquo;s a fairly straightforward conversion to binary.)</p>ITHelp on RTL-09875 - RFID Starter Kit - RetailITHelpurn:uuid:2a9ad2ec-ddca-b42a-b272-420beeb76e592011-12-09T12:46:40-07:00<p>Yes. You actually need to tie FS (Format Select) to GND and RST to VCC as well. All told it only takes three lines from the Arduino to run it.</p>
<p>EDIT: I use the NewSoftSerial library to read from this as well. It works great and it leaves the hardware UART open for other uses.</p>@maxboender on RTL-09875 - RFID Starter Kit - Retail@maxboenderurn:uuid:5dfa652a-c1ee-502f-c911-4d2c6d5048272011-12-04T02:07:13-07:00<p>I used the tutorial but hyperterminal only shows triangles.

I have tags rewritables (T5567 type) - which I can read in this module ok.<br/>
Can I use this module also to write to this tags?<br/>
(I can write to TAGS with another readder/writer I have)<br/>
Are there any commands - to to the writing?, any datasheet how to use this module for writing?<br/>
Is it possible at all with the ID-12?<br/>
please email me to<br/>

You may be able to pick up the occasional 134kHz module with 125 kHz module, but this is the exception rather than the rule. You could hack the USB reader to be compatible with a 134kHz module, but it is currently only designed for the ID-2, ID-12 and ID-20 modules. It would probably be easier to simply build your own reader interface board for whatever module you would like to use.</p>coudcoud on RTL-09875 - RFID Starter Kit - Retailcoudcoudurn:uuid:aec050f0-f6b1-595a-10ea-fc2bb8389aac2011-03-21T14:57:27-06:00<p>Hello.<br/>
I wanted to build a 134khz rfid reader, to use it with animal ear tags.<br/>
I read that some 125khz readers could view 134khz transponders.<br/>
However it doesn&rsquo;t seem to work with an out-of-the-box rfid starter kit.<br/>
I&rsquo;m a beginner in electronics, so I don&rsquo;t know if there is a way to change/add a component in the &ldquo;RFID USB reader&rdquo; in order to change the reading frequency.<br/>
Is it hackable?<br/>

I m gonna use this device along with my java project. So I require the Java SDK along with starter pack.<br/>
